I remember, at school, studying for A level history, that I mentioned that I didn't see why ordinary British men bothered to fight against Napoleon, what difference to their lives did it make whether King George or Napoleon sat on the throne?

What difference does it makes in Ukraine? What's this 'Freedom' thing good for, exactly? That the Ukrainians aren't really fighting for 'Ukraine', but are actually fighting for Washington, is painfully obvious, so why do they do it?
